Hi all, I hope everyone is having a great day :D

I was SO excited for my cheat day today. I havent' had processed food (aside from yogurt and cottage cheese) for 18 days, so I decided I would have one cheat day followed by another 18 days of clean eating.

I have had a coveted Chai Latte and half a chocolate chip cookie and man, does my stomach ever feel 'heavy'. This really goes to show how clean eating really makes a difference! Any other clean eaters who felt this way?

Anywho, eye opening as it is....my cheat day continues!

    My son BEGGED to go to Taco Bell a couple of weeks ago- my favorite fast food place. So we went and I ate 2 of the 3 items I used to get. I felt awful afterward. It honestly made me a little sad, even though I know that sounds ridiculous!

    Yeah...I was so excited to start my cheat day...and now I'm thinking I won't have the dinner I had already planned (Mr. Sub).

    I haven't felt this 'heavy' since before I started eating clean. It's crazy!

    Is a chai latte not clean?

    I have it with soy milk (lactose intollerant). Lots of carbs....trying to avoid the carbs aside from fruit/yogurt/cottage cheese/some veg.

    Plus...Chai latte is a slippery slope for me. It tends to lead to other bad choices.

    Also, the Starbucks Chai Latte has lotsa sugar!!!

    My cheat days have turned into cheat meals because I feel so yucky!

    I wouldn't put a Chai on the list of "unclean" items. Maybe I'm just biased.

    That is what today is quickly turning into! I can't believe how much this has opened my eyes!

    I wouldn't either if it was real Chai tea.

    In my case, this was a full-of-sugar/Chai-concentrate latte.
